Abstract: The present disclosure relates to apparatus for grinding rotary blades, in particular scythe-like blades or circular blades, in particular for machines for slicing food products. The apparatus includes at least one mount for a rotary blade to which the rotary blade can be attached and at least one grinding tool. The grinding tool and the rotary blade attached in the mount are movable relative to one another such that a blade edge extending at the periphery of the rotary blade can be ground by the grinding tool. The apparatus includes a measuring device for determining the extent of the blade edge and a control which is designed to use the determined blade edge extent for controlling the relative movement between the grinding tool and the rotary blade.

Abstract: The invention relates to an installation for conveying products, in particular product slices or product portions combing from a slicing machine for food products, having at least one conveyor which includes a carrier and at least one conveyor section held at the carrier, wherein at least a part of the conveyor section is tiltable relative to the carrier between a conveying position and a safety position about an axis extending in the conveying direction.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a cutting blade that is rotatably drivable and provided for machines for slicing food products, in particular high-speed slicers. With the aid of a mounting area surrounding a rotary shaft, the cutting blade is fixed to a drive shaft of the machine. A distance area is provided outside the mounting area but inside the cutting edge area. The disclosure aims at improving the cutting blade with respect to its stability and configuring it such that it has the lowest possible weight. For this purpose, alternately recessed and raised formations are provided in the distance area.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of handling portions comprising a respective at least one slice, wherein the slices have been produced by slicing food products, wherein the portions are conveyed, in particular line-wise, one after the other in a main conveying stream along a conveying direction, wherein incomplete portions, in particular portions low in weight, are automatically recognized and/or classified, wherein incomplete portions are expelled from the main conveying stream and are supplied to a correction station in a correction stream, wherein incomplete portions are respectively completed by at least one single slice which is removed from a slice store with the aid of an automatic transfer unit and wherein completed portions are automatically channeled back into the main conveying stream.
